Spread of Misinformation

Here more spread of misinformation.

Post death section of the brains on autistic, normal and dyslexic people can be identified accurately by the spacing of the neuron columns in the brain. The autistic represent the short end of the distribution, while the dyslectic represent the long end, but the number of samples was small at the time of the Eide study. This is post death identification, not the cause of the long or short distribution. As this is normal distribution, there may be no cause other than natural distribution. The problem is one of brain structure, hence diet of mother and child are also subject. Vegan diets are correlated to some autistic children; that is to say that Vegans more frequently have autistic children.

Now comes the second issue, that the child needs to be 2 or 3 before development has progressed to the point that a diagnosis could ever be made, more often 8 or 10. So the inoculation then diagnosis is very shaky as a cause. A lot happens in development.

Previous generations pushed all these sort of people out of school as slow, and never tried to address the real problem. It is therefore impossible to examine change of frequency over time or between cultures and nationalities. Neuron spacing data is too sparse yet to show any trend between races.

As the autistic/dyslexic issue is brain structure/brain development issue, by the time it is diagnosed the problem exists, and nothing beyond learning to live with it can be done. Living as a dyslexic is such fun, and it is associated with poor memory for literal strings, to add to the issues. Yet dyslexics often have other advantages, fixity of knowledge, ability to sort and eliminate non matching concepts. Spell-checkers has made writing so much easier, but there are word usage issues and similar word issues that spell-checker is of no help for. Grammar checkers have a way to go yet.  

So when I see someone promoting the vaccination autism link, which likely does not exist, all I can say is follow the money to understand that someone is making money out of the concept. Why not. Our government allow a lot of bullshat ways of conning we people out of money. Oh well, itewajda.
